Egypt Under Mubarak

Egypt is one of the major powers in the Middle East. The vigor of its cultural life and the extent of its influence make it a force which cannot be ignored in the Arab world. The contributors to this informative book examine the causes and consequences of the many crises within Egypt's political, sociological, economic and moral legacy. They critically assess strategies devised by Mubarak's government to cope with that legacy, and offer insight into the capacity of the present administration to employ Egypt's considerable resources in the shaping of a distinct and effective international role.
